Definition: (heading) To be moved downwards.
Alright class, settle down, let’s take a look!
Today we’re tackling the word “fallen,” and our dictionary friend has given us a good start – “(heading) To be moved downwards.”
But what does that
really
mean? Let's think about it.
“Fallen” describes something that has lost its position, you see,
It’s come down from up above, quite gracefully!
Think of leaves in autumn, a swirling, golden hue,
They’ve “fallen” to the ground, a beautiful view.
Or maybe a star that's tumbled from the night,
A twinkling, distant light, lost to sight.
It could be a soldier, brave and bold and true,
Whose body "fallen" – sadly, it is through.
So “fallen” means
downward
movement, you understand?
But also, a loss of place, in this wondrous land!
Does that make sense to you all? Any questions before we move on?
